EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving captures a pivotal moment in American history - the assassination of President James A. Garfield by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2,1881, at the old Baltimore & Potomac R. R. station in Washington, D. C. The image showcases the chaos and horror that unfolded that fateful day. In the center of the composition stands Guiteau, his arm outstretched as he fires a fatal shot at President Garfield. The intensity of this act is palpable, with smoke billowing from the gun and tension radiating from every line etched into their faces. To the right of Guiteau looms Secretary of State James G. Blaine, frozen in shock and disbelief at what has just transpired before his eyes. His presence adds another layer to this tragic tableau - a high-ranking government official witnessing an unthinkable crime against his own leader. The artist's use of color brings life to this historical event, capturing not only its violence but also its significance for America's political landscape. This engraving serves as a reminder of how one man's actions can alter an entire nation's course. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to that dark day in Washington D. C. , where political tensions ran high and tragedy struck unexpectedly. It stands as both a testament to our past and a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy itself.
